Professional Development Workshops
What Hats Are You Wearing? Student, Employee, or Researcher? A Survival Guide
Presented By: Dean Linda Mason, The Graduate School
Most graduate students don’t graduate on time because they do not have a plan of attack. Usually, graduate students are successful in their courses, but it is the policies, processes, and politics that trip them up. This session is designed to help students plan for graduate school and create a target for finishing on time.
Impostor Syndrome
Presented By: Dean Linda Mason, The Graduate School
Part of maturing as a graduate student is finding your voice and the confidence to know that you belong in your academic discipline. Any individual can be impacted by the impostor syndrome (IS), but minorities in a field are more susceptible, so addressing this early in your career is important. In this session, we will introduce examples of IS, and the implications it has on mental health and social justice. Quick tips on the power of positive thinking will be given.
